It's been a while. This is the top of my computer desk. The springtime sun has perked up the bonsai and the cacti; they'll be going outside soon. Also featured is my impractically large and ever-growing shot glass collection.

The Last Note... by ANKUR MISHRA

3 3

Time to end the pain, allow myself to grow cold

Time to free my heart, it can no longer hold

So, I'll end up saying what she already know

"I LOVE HER" more then I could ever show

I have told my heart, can say no more

I'll just curl my eyes now, and let me lie on the floor

$2 US Note by Glenn Fitzpatrick

I was playing "drop the dollar" with Pap-Pap at Christmas - he drops $2 bills, and if you catch it you get to keep it, and if you don't catch it then you go to the end of the line until you do. This time I caught something a little different. Notice anything odd compared to your usual dollar bills?

It's not a "Federal Reserve Note", it's a "US Note"!

Ghost Praying Mantis (adult female) by Ron DeCloux

Color of Life Note: Ghost mantids exhibit cryptic coloration (conceals or disguises an animal's shape). They look like like a vine draped on tree and bush branches.

TAXONOMY

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Arthropoda

Class: Insecta

Order: Mantodea

Family: Hymenopodidae

Subfamily: Epaphroditinae

Genus/species Phyllocrania paradoxa

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: This is a miniature species of leaf mantis, growing to under 5 cm (2 in). Theses mantids exhibit sexual dimorphism with females being longer and having a wider abdomen than males. Colors can vary from grey/green to dark brown or almost black. Colors are dependent on humidity and light levels. Ghost mantids have leaf-like head and shoulder shields, and leaf-like protrusions hanging from their limbs. This “dead-leaf” appearance makes it very difficult to see. The scientific name is probably derived from Greek for “leaf “(phyllo) and Latin for “head” (crania).

DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: They are found in the warm, highly humid tropical forests of Tropical Africa including Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, and Somalia.

DIET IN THE WILD: A sit-and-wait predator of flying insects, its leaf mimicry makes difficult to spot for predators, prey . . . and visitors.

DIET IN CAPTIVITY: Drosophila (fruit flies), houseflies, crickets, and flour worms.

LONGEVITY: Generally a long-lived species, they molt every 3 to 5 weeks, until the 4th and final molting. They live a little over a year in captivity.

REPRODUCTION: In general mantids reproductive organs are found at the tip of their abdomen. Females which are larger attract males with pheromones, there is a brief courtship dance, and the male alights on the female’s back. After delivering sperm, the male usually hurries away as females are known to consume their mates! After fertilization the female deposits batches of eggs, using an ovipositor at the tip of her abdomen. The eggs stick to stems and leaves, and each batch is housed in an egg case made from an abdominal secretion that hardens to protect the eggs from birds and other predators. After about a month the nymphs hatch and then molt several times, each time becoming more like the adult form.

This is probably the hardest song I've EVER played. We played it when I was in 10th grade, and two years later l could probably not play it again. It's definitely 4-5 pages of DIFFICULT.
